“Our favorite restaurant in Ellicot City. Hope they stick with same chefs.“

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“Olive Garden has such a lovely ambiance with relaxing music and an old Italian vibe that makes you feel right at home. The bread is absolutely divine, I could eat it all day! The service was excellent, our waitress was so sweet and attentive, and the food was really delicious. A perfect spot for a cozy, enjoyable meal. Also got a nice chocolate in the end!“

“Went for breakfast today. Got eggs and scrapple. Everything cooked perfectly. First time that we've been to the new location. We loved going there when they were in Owings Mills. The space is big and the selection of prepared foods and gourmet grocery items is wonderful. Everyone that waited on us was friendly. Can't wait to go back.“

““When you are here, you are family”, the old logo retired in 2012. As I entered the restaurant I was told to follow the hostess, an older person that seemed stressed out, and they sat us by the sunny window (4:00 pm). I quickly asked if we could sit in a booth where then sun was not in our eyes. The hostess quickly moved the napkins to the table that was not a window but was not a booth either, then walked off. In my mind I’m thinking, it’s okay, at least the sun is not in my face anymore. I asked someone if they had the never ending pasta deal. They sarcastically replied: “Well yeah, it just started Monday!” I just laughed. I’m thinking why are people so unhappy or stressed out here? I just asked a question. Just answer with a yes or a no please. When someone requests a different table it would be nice if the hostess politely asks, “where would you like to sit?” I was well aware that that logo was retired: Not being treated like family here lol..!! I noticed a family of four (two of them in their 80’s) was being asked to sit super far away from the entrance. The couple’s son asked if there was a closer table as his parents were having a hard time to get to the table using canes. Those are just minor things. Businesses that have politeness and friendliness usually stay in customer’s hearts. Remember that I am giving you a point of you of my experience on that Friday around 4 pm. I am not criticizing or giving this restaurant a hard time. I also want the reader to have this in mind and tell the hostess where the reader would like to sit. We ordered the never ending pasta with a protein. The food was great. The Shrimp Fritto Misto appetizer, the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, the Chicken and Gnocchi soup, and the garlic bread all were excellent. My waiter did forget to bring me my soup. After my second and final bowl of pasta I asked her if I could have my soup. Her response was that we had all ready had salad and that we could not get both. I responded that I never had salad or soup. Our waiter looked puzzled. I told her well did you write our order down? She immediately said: “oh yes, I’m sorry, I’ll bring it out immediately.” Like I said, I am not criticizing but do sympathize with the workers as it seems that management has these workers under lots of stress. There should be happiness among workers and that will convert to an amazing level of service and a great atmosphere for the best Italian meal. I chose not to complaint when management came out asking all of the tables if their food was hot and good. It shows that management wants to show good quality control. The hot meal is part of the experience. We chose coffee for our drinks. Our first coffee was warm and it quickly turned colder when we added the cold creamer. You tend to drink coffee faster when you drink cold coffee. When our waitress said I will get you more coffee and noticed we needed more creamer she said: “oh you like more cream… looks a like you drank creamer with coffee instead of coffee and creamer.” I have lots of patience and just smiled but I ask you: is that comment necessary? Whether it is a joke or not I believe a waitress should be on top of things to her best gratuity as possible. She still got 20% from us ($24 out of bill $112). I want you to know that while we ate we ordered a Large Pan Lasagna to go for like $65, good size for the price. The food was great! I will definitely come back soon as I loved the food here. I thank the unseen team members, like the cooks, that make this place a great place for a great meal. I encourage you to come to this Olive Garden in Colombia, Maryland and enjoy the great tastes this restaurant has to offer. I explain how my experience went down so that if you have a similar experience you too can practice your patience and understanding with the knowing that your tummy will be happy!!! Everything else that happened is like they say: “Water off a duck’s back”!!! Stay blessed!“

“Best food in town and they treat you like family. They have leadership and team that takes pride in their work. And love the way they Surport everyone.“

“me encanto el sándwich y la sopa y el personal muy amable“

“I enjoy ordering here a lot. I usually get take out, but did notice limited seating. They have these lovely guava sweets too. The price is excellent for the value they provide. I usually get the wok special fried rice or lo mein. My friend loves their beef fried rice. The portions are large and I’m usually able to eat it 2-3 times. I had the wonton soup once but wasn’t a fan. I am willing to try their other soups however. More bang for your buck. I’ll keep coming back. I love that they close late, good for those of us who close later in the day.“

“It was first time we came here. We got “Combo 2” which comes with Rice, Salad, Tzatziki sauce, beef kabob and chicken. You can do half salad half rice or you can choose either rice and salad itself. We did half and half. Chicken was good. It was cooked well and fresh. Beef kabob was good too but I wouldn’t say it is the best kabob I’ve ever eaten. It was a little chewy but not too much. Salad was mostly lettuce. My wife found only two small feta pieces in her salad. I got nothing. French Fries omg that was soo good. I didn’t expect that! Fresh and tasty! Portions are very much big enough. Service was kind. Overall, it was good experience for a mall’s food court. Definitely better than fast food chains in that food court.“

“Great food and great service with a friendly staff.“

“Hidden Gem! Authentic and delicious. Order ahead because this is not fast food, thankfully.“

“Delicious sandwiches!! Amazing soups!! Great location 👌“

“EXTRA PRICEY & DIFFICULT TO GET Regular food always seem to add some type of cream sauce or dressing in that I personally dont care for and when you return it the kitchen manager acts like its an issue to correct it even when you Tell them Exactly how you want it! Very disheartening since they moved from a smaller Arundel Mills location.“

“Excellent Service, I really like it“
